Dear all,
I am writing you to tell you that I am stepping down as an admin and mod of these forums and as a mod on the openSUSE Mailing lists. Some incidents / events over the past years have made me feel less comfortable and safe to do the work here, as well as on the mailing lists. That is a personal feeling. I don’t blame anyone for this feeling, I just cannot get aroud it.
All in all it was mostly a great ride, and I am grateful for the support and learning experiences from a lot of you people here.
I kindly ask you not to start a public discussion. Feel free to ask me per DM or email, though I will not disclose things that were supposed to "stay inside these four walls. I will still be around trying to help where I can.
Be well,
Gertjan a.k.a. Knurpht
